Dead Island 2 PC Performance Review and Optimisation Guide

8K Performance

8K? Really? Who games at 8K? Nobody, but since we have access to an 8K screen and an RTX 4090, it made sense to see if the game is even playable at such an absurd resolution. At 8K, Dead Rising 2 is somewhat playable, but you need to make set FSR 2 to its lower quality levels before average framerates rise to 60+ FPS. Even then, there can be some large performance dips.

8K is a crazy resolution, and it is clear that today’s GPUs are not ready for this resolution, even Nvidia’s RTX 4090. While 8K offers crystal clear visuals, most PC gamers are better off playing games at 4K with high refresh rate monitors and VRR enabled. 8K is playable, but high refresh rate 4K is a much better experience.
